Katie McCory & Destiny's Diamond

Hello ~I have been working very hard on the second book in
the McCory Chronicles. Here is a little sneak peek for all of my followers.

"Oh
dear, oh dear. I'm afraid I have come too late."

Katie had somehow managed to fall
asleep while reading a book of banishing spells. The woman's voice that woke
her was hauntingly lovely. It was filled with knowing yet wonder, all at the
same time. Katie cautiously opened her eyes. Inside her head she recited one of
her newly acquired hexes. She would not be taken by surprise again.

The woman pacing at the foot of her
bed was tall and thin. Her indigo hair was swept up into a mass of curls on the
top of her head. Its beautiful blend of violet and midnight blue took Katie's
breath away. A dazzling array of diamonds woven into the indigo curls sparkled
like stars in a sky of midnight blue. The fairy's dress reminded Katie of the
ancient robes of Greece. It was a slightly lighter shade of blue than her hair
and wound loosely around her slender body. A black velvet pouch attached to a
silver and diamond braid bounced on her hip. The fairy woman wrung her delicate
ivory hands as she paced causing a cloud of diamond dust to float to the
floor.

"I should have known he would
send a Nipper to harvest the blood. I should have figured out sooner what his
real plan was. Oh my, because of my neglect and carelessness many humans will
suffer, and this dear girl most of all." The elegant woman dropped into an
overstuffed chair in the corner of the room and started weeping.

Katie slowly slipped out of bed. She
didn't want to startle the distraught fairy, but she had to find out what she
was rambling about and what she knew about the giant bug that had tried to get
her blood. What had she called it? A Nipper? She was about to speak to the
woman when a puff of brown smoke billowed up in front of her, sending her
scurrying back under her sheets.

A mysterious golden chest in Grams’ attic, a stained-glass window that
never ages, and a strange dream. What do these three things have in
common? MAGIC. This magic sends twins, Katie and Billy, and their two
best friends on a quest into Fey in pursuit of a stolen talisman, The
Dagger of Truth. In the hands of dark magic, this mighty talisman can be
transformed into The Dagger of Malice and possess the power to destroy
both Fey and mortal Earth. The friends are guided on their mission by
four good fairies, a Brownie, Sun Fairy, Sphinx, and The Green Lady.
Armed with magical weapons, gifted from the Dwarfs, they go in pursuit
of the thief, a Soul Shrinker, and his mother the Queen of the Dark
Fairies. Come along for the ride as “The Chosen Ones” step into an
exotic land full of danger, magic and mystery.
